mot Often, -

We do not often refer editorially to the value
of medicines advertised in our columns, or COM
mend them to the public. But we feel free to
depart with this rule in the case of Goochs
Mexican Syrup. For coughs and colds it is in
valuable, and in consumption we believe it is an
infallible remedy if the case is not too far pro-
crossed. We have tried this remedy in our own
family, and have seen the good effects In others
who have used it in cases of severe colds which
were fast running into consumption, and in
every instance rapid and permanent cures were
effected, and that, too. when all other remedies
resorted to had failed We honestly believe it
is the very best remedy for coughs, colds and
consumption ever put upon the market, and
think it should be placed in all drug houses for
its actual value, and for the great and speedy
relief it furnishes in all lung troubles including
bronchitis, for which it is sovereign remedy.

interviews with the President
Colonel Dudley told friend privately, to-day,

stating that things we're much mixed there. The
news from Indianapolis to-day exalted the spirits
of the Democrats, and caused a corresponding
depression among the Republicans. Senator
Voorhees, says it is first blood for the Democrats
and that the Republicans, after taking the
vote on Senator, cannot unseat any more Demo-
Gratis. He is confident of Judge TUrpies elec-
ton There is a feeling of confidence here that
Robinson. the Democratic Greenbacker, will
soon vote for Turpie.
Colonel Matson to-day received a private dis
patch from State Senator Evans, of Illinois,
stating that the Legislature of that State had

Little Truth in the "Boodle" Cry.


New York Sun.
There is a good deal of cheap talk In circuia-
ton about the election of 'smillionaires" to the
United States Senate. How many milionaires
are there in the Senate and how many of these
Owe their seats to their money! The fact is that
the number Of very rich men in the Senate is
not large. nor have they all bought their seats.
A millionaire unless he happens to be merely q
lucky speculator, has earned his money by the
business; and such men. IL modest and patriotic,
may well make useful il not snowy members Of
the Senate That it Is the rule to buy the cleo
ton of Senator in any other State than Neva-
ia we do not believe; and Nevada was made q
State for causes that never can occur again.
There is no reason why millionaire shouldn't
have the same rights as anybody else. as long as
he behaves himself; nor Is he less likely to be a
useful Senator than some lawyer who gives
TO his law business In the Supreme Court much
Of the time he ought to pass in the Senate
chamber
The constant reiteration of the charge that
the Senate is club of rich men is becoming
tiresome 1t Is not true. What is the sense
then, of bringing unjust reproach upon Amer
San institutions? The rich men elected to the
Senate from time to time are. as rule, not
elected on account of their wealth, but on &C
If it were true that American Legislatures
slect rich men for their riches, thus virtually
selling senatorships, the American people would
not long allow themselves to be duped by such
rascality
But there is usually very little truth in this
sry of DOODLE" Americans are not toadies to
4awn upon rich men ambitious Of political ca
ree-, nor scoundrels to sell high places to such
men. Most OF the rich men who succeed in poll
sics would also succeed if they were poor

fusion ensued. The Democrats protested against
certain rulings of the Speaker, and stopped
proceedings by yelling at the top of their
voices. Threats were made to pull the Speaker
from the chair. While the yelling continued
pages were sent in all directions to bring in
absent Democrats. Finally, when all the
absentees were brought in, the noise ceased,
and Walters fDemocrat) was declared entitled

committee contested elections, which had a
Republican majority, was discharged, and one
with Democratic majority appointed instead.
